Tabitha didn't mean for her wandering interest to be a slight against the hosts, she was merely a girl of simple tastes. Not to mention something in the gentleman's tone suggested he was teasing her. "I always thought there was an undeniable beauty in the ordinary, every day, no?" The lights of the city at night, ethereal in the quiet outside, versus the noise of the party below were much more to her liking. Tabi knew what she would prefer, despite her general enjoyment this evening. She would enjoy a quiet walk much more than a ball in most instances.

"I don't get out of Hogsmeade often, the city is quite captivating." She admitted with a soft, slightly wry smile. Tabi took a moment to appraise her company over the rim of her wine glass, trying to see if she could make out any more familiar features, but supposed with the climax of the evening coming soon enough, she could handle the mystery for a little while longer.
